Bei Shuo sat by her bed and looked into her eyes with a smile. âWhy?â
Mu Yao turned her face away unhappily.
âDid you have lunch?â Bei Shuo asked patiently.
Mu Yao turned around, her eyes bright. âSister-in-law, I want to eat some snacks from Jiuze House. Shall we get someone to buy them?â
Bei Shuo rubbed her forehead. âIs it the one you sent to our house last time?â
Mu Yao nodded. âYes, yes. Itâs delicious, right?â
Bei Shuo remained silent.
Mu Yao said unhappily, âI heard that I sent you snacks and made Big Mom unhappy?â
Bei Shuo was stunned. âHow did you know?â
Mu Yao raised her chin in disdain. âHow can you hide such a thing? Besides, if Big Mom is unhappy, she naturally wonât let us have an easy time. She has to tell us that sheâs unhappy no matter what.â
Bei Shuo didnât know what to say. She could only say, âChild, just think about your snacks happily.â
She placed an order on her cell phone and showed it to Mu Yao. âHere, the snacks you wanted!â
Mu Yao instantly smiled. âSister-in-law, youâre so good! Can you come and accompany me every day? I want to see you every day!â
Bei Shuo smiled. âHow many days have you been staying here? You look like you should be discharged soon, right?â
Mu Yao didnât think much of it. âItâs fine. Iâll continue staying here if I like it.â Bei Shuo didnât think too much about it. She tucked her in. âNonsense. Whatâs there to stay in the hospital for? Hurry up and go home after you recover. Who would be willing to stay in the hospital? Is there something wrong with your brain?â
She tapped Mu Yaoâs forehead.
Mu Yao sighed and her face immediately darkened. âAt least there are doctors and nurses in the hospital who care about me. Thereâs only me, the nanny, the tutor, and the servants at home. Thereâs no one to talk to.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bei Shuo was a little surprised. âWhereâs your mother?â
Mu Yao was unhappy. âSheâs busy all year round! I might not even be able to make an appointment with her even if I tried. How can I be more important than her paintings?â
âThen⦠whereâs your father?â Bei Shuo asked stiffly.
She had no impression of her father-in-law and was completely unfamiliar with him. Moreover, Mu Ci never mentioned him.
Hence, to her, that person was Mu Yaoâs father, but he was her legitimate father-in-law, so it was a little awkward to ask about him.
Mu Yao didnât think too much about it. She pursed her lips. âHe only has eyes for my mother. Iâm just an accident! He only knows how to give me gifts and money. Hmph! Who cares! If he canât accompany me, why did they give birth to me? Do they think money can make me happy? The psychologists have already said that the longest confession is companionship! They wonât accompany me!â
Bei Shuo couldnât help but laugh. He glared at her. âLittle brat, there is too much twisted logic! Those are advertising terms, not psychologists.â
Thinking about how Mr. Mu Guo had always ignored Mu Ci and Mu En and placed all his attention on his family outside, his daughter actually complained like this.
It was obvious that people were always not satisfied.
âSigh, Sister-in-law, I think Iâm already depressed.â Mu Yao looked very sad.
Bei Shuo patted her head gently. âYouâre so fashionable! Nowadays, anyone who doesnât have any psychological problems canât keep up with the trend, right? Donât you go to school usually? Wonât you fall behind in your homework if youâre sick like now?â
Mu Yao rolled her eyes. âDonât mention my homework. Iâll be even more anxious and depressed if you mention it. My mother thinks that the student has to surpass the master, so I have to surpass her. She graduated from a famous school and is a famous painter. I canât be inferior to her. I even think that I donât have to learn to paint and that I can learn other things to make a name for myself. Hence, I have been learning chess, zither, calligraphy, and painting since I was young. Sigh, itâs a pity that I didnât inherit her good genes. Instead, Iâm like the hedonistic sons of the Mu Family. I canât learn anything well. Hence, my motherâs face grew darker and darker!â
Mu Yao gestured from her chin to her chest and made a face.
Bei Shuo laughed.
âSister-in-law, how did you live when you were young? Do you have to make up so many lessons too?â Mu Yao asked curiously.
Bei Shuo smiled and shook her head. âI didnât have such good conditions like you when I was young. I couldnât learn so many things. I was naughty and playful when I was young. My homework only took up a small portion.â
Mu Yao looked yearning. âReally? Then youâre too lucky! Tell me what youâre playing. Why are you so naughty?â
Bei Shuo smiled. âThereâs nothing to learn from. Our environments are different. I lived in the countryside when I was young..â
